He didn't finish it but he just send me his work-in-progress which I have been working in today, but unfortunately quite a lot of things seems to blow up when building ivtools 1.2.3 on FreeBSD, so it probably be at least a few days before I get it working (currently some parts doesn't seem to link against libtiff for some reason). --=20 Simon L.
